Are you being glib? I achieved what I was aiming for (deleting a package).
Given the reponse I got on my observation ('patches welcome'), I don't feel
inclined to go through another hoop in yet another department just to be told
'no, do it yourself and we _might_ consider it'. No sense in repeating the
popular opinion in another format.
And if most people are happy with the bureaucracy, who am I to change it? It's
not my project or my website. I carry no clout or weight among the staff. It
would be a waste of time to submit a feature request for something that is
clearly against the consensus.
I'd have more luck forking the AUR and hacking it privately, assuming I felt
passionately enough about it to spend even more time on the issue.
Tldr: no, it won't achieve anything.

Yup. Even if regular users don't have access to said log, asking a TU
once in a blue moon to check wtf is/was going on with some package is
OK.
Have you opened a feature request on the bugtracker for this?
